A Bayesian Approach to PM Model with Random Maintenance Quality

This paper considers a Bayesian approach to determine an optimal PM policy with random maintenance quality. Thus, we assume that the quality of a PM action is a random variable following a probability distribution. When the failure time is Weibull distribution with uncertain parameters, a Bayesian approach is established to formally express and update the uncertain parameters for determining an optimal PM policy. Finally, the numerical examples are presented for illustrative purpose.
